How to flatten rolled up posters for framing?

So, I have all these posters that have been rolled up when they were shipped. I never got them framed and hung on the wall, and now it's time. Some have been rolled up as long as 8 years. Is there a method to get them to unroll or flatten quicker than putting a bunch of books on them? That's what I'm doing now. Help me out, Suzy Homemakers!

Lay them flat on the floor of the bathroom. Place a few small weights to hold them flat. Put a fan next to them blowing at the wall. Turn the shower on hot for a few minutes with the door shut. Turn off the shower. Leave them for a day. The moisture will relax the fibres, then dry away.
